Re: Volume/Partition labels

Andrew! STOP NOW!

Why do you tell him to turn off the page file to change the volume name. It
does not have to be turned off.

You have been posting these highly "inaccurate" tips here for going on three
months. Do you ever learn? Or do you just like to see your name in "lights"?

To the O/P - Just open My Computer, right click on the drive you wish to
rename. Go to properties and you will be able to give it a new name. There
is no reason to turn off the pagefile as Andrew has inaccurately posted.
